WHAT IS THE MEANING?
My neighbours house was burning and I was trying to put our the fire with a stick, but did not feel stressed about it or concerned.
In my dream it was a storm and a large tree was thrown on the power line.When the tree fell from the power line it hit the ground close to the house and the house was in flames. I say myself trying to collect things out of the house before it was totally destroyed, also while doing that it was someone telling me to get out,hurry up before I got caught in the fire.I say the person very clearly(a man).The person I say telling me to get out was my deceased grandfather.
I had a dream that the burners on a stove in my grandmas house (she passed away several years ago) kept coming on. I would turn them off and walk away but them I could smell the flame so I would go back in and they would be lit again with the actual knobs turned. The pattern of me turning them off and them coming back on occurred several times so I finally pulled the stove out and unplugged it, but it didn’t matter. I remember finally calling for help to get the gas line turned off as well and then woke up…. it was really weird. There has to be significance about being at my grandmas house (I haven’t been there in 8 or so years) and can’t seem to find anything pertaining to stove burners… This is driving me buggy.
